    We still have it. Gator, that is. This time, I got no ad, though. Only the security warning.

    I am 100% sure that it came from Apolyton. I have had no other websites open today. And I cleared my cookies just this morning.

      I don't think so. The script has to start running to set the delay. So as long as you keep the scripts out, you have no problems.

        And the hunt for the offending advertiser continues ...

          You can try changing between regular and special styles. If you don't get it using a regular style, the offender is from a popup ad.

            I just got gator going from a demo game private forum to the main forum index.

            dictionary.com is open in the back ground, but hasn't been touched for several hours.

              The demogamers use too many long words?

                Got the Gator "open on task bar" edition. My Windows NT Task Manager listed it ("Running" -- ominously)
                as follows:

                http://webpdp.gator.com/v3/webpdp_v3...c=HIC_RydiumNT - Microsoft Internet Explorer

                Since I'm in a corporate environment (thus Win NT, MSIE, and no popup blockers) for virtually all my Poly time, I'm stuck with these annoyances. I appreciate any efforts Dan can muster to minimize or endit re Gator, but I consider it to be the price of T1 speed and no out-of-pocket Web access cost.

                Which is why I haven't complained before.

                  Another screenshot with our dear companion - Gator.

                  By the way people, stay clear of Gator and under no circumstances click Yes. You won't be able to get rid of Gator afterwards.

                    I've gotten Gator twice today.

                    Dan please indicate if there is any information that I could provide that you can use in your quest to rid Apolyton of the evil Gator ad.

                      I haven't seen a Gator message at work for quite some time now. Odd...

                        Well Gator is still alive and well ... I just go bit by it again. Time to clean up my system again.

                          Do you have trouble saying no?

                            He may have

                            But Gator writes to the registry, whether you say yes or no. It doesn't install itself, but it writes to your registry.

                            I got it twice yesterday, and once so far today
